ME/CFS Science @mecfsscience.org · 17/07/20266) The authors note: "we found overall low agreement and low to moderate reliability between the two-day CPET and two-day 6MIST for both objective and subjective outcomes. [...] This indicates that the two-day 6MIST is currently not yet an optimal alternative." 170
